so our community service started the other day and it is a pretty hysterical situation. we basically just go to this after school club for gypsy children in the burbs of krakow, which are basically just glorious praires, and kick it with the kids and like try and speak to them in english. the kids are pretty funny and its a fun gig.
a typical conversation with a kid there goes:
-Spencer: what are you doing?
-Polish Child: da krak va mar tek sluch groo
-Spencer: huh?
-Polish Child: steeek var doop shlop vanmer
-Spencer: Oh! Sick!
there is a kid there damien, who we have deemed the leader of the children. we say this because he seems to be the best at the computer game they all play called Tibia. all they do is basically play that game. its truly bizarre. i guess its kinda like world of warcraft, only like 30 years behind in technological achievements. my favorite kid is Marchek or as ben and i call him "ocho-cinco". we call him this because he is very skilled at catching the football and for those of you who dont follow sports (girls and wiener ;) ocho cinco is chad johnson, a receiver on the cincinnatti bengals. i have considered taking ocho home with me and training him to be a stud athlete. we will see how realistic that is as time goes on. this one girl there loves us and she always does that like in-love-with-you sigh that reminds me that girl in billy madison who sends him the valentines day cards and waves at him with that cute hand-cupped wave. oddly enough, this girl looks exactly like that girl from that movie so ive made her start waving at me like that. shes 8 so thats cool too. haha, kidding, im not weird like that.
one of the most annoying things about krakow is that old gypsy women bother us when we are eating and bark at us in disgusting noises. being the sage traveler that he is, ben bought gypsy dust that he merely sprinkles on them when they are near so they cannot cast their diabolical spells on our perogis.
there are these two chicks that weve hung out with from this program we are on. one of them is from finland and the other is from latvia. we went out with them last night and they took us to "non-touristy" spots. what the fuck? we are tourists. so we left those places and went to this place called carpe diem while i awkwardly danced with them to "bille jean" and "hands up baby hands up". but they are all right besides the fact that they took me and ben to this lake after work today and basically made us tight rope around a 200 foot drop over a rocky death. luckily our nimbleness allowed us to prevail and survive another day in krakow.
thats it for now, im gonna give the comp to mones so he can spit some fire.
